Dishaw capped the final goal of the quarter, scoring unassisted with 1:10 to play, giving Roanoke a 7-4 advantage.
Sewanee made a major run in the third quarter. Chad Smith scored at the 10:39 mark, unassisted, but that would be Roanoke's only goal of the period. Sewanee went on to score five unanswered goals during the period. George Bukawyn scored the first two goals, the second of which was a man-up opportunity.

Roanoke won the faceoff after the goal, lost the ball, but got it back after a penalty. Roanoke took two more shots in the closing seconds of the contest, but neither would prove to be the equalizer, as #17 Roanoke fell on the road to Sewanee on Saturday.
